Little Liam: My name is Liam Garland and im 23 from Birmingham. When i was younger about 7 or 8 I used to live a stride away from Ocean Colour Scene's studio Moseley Shoals being young and inquisitive me and my friend ( Ricky Adams ) used to make a nuisance of ourselves and go there and BUG em lol. But constantly surrounded by people who strive on music made me want a bit of it.

Steve Cradock ( guitarist Ocean Colour Scene) taught me more or less everything I play; he is a massive influence on my life let alone my music he is a great friend. So now a few years on I'm slowly getting to the point where im happy with my music the help i have had off Ocean Colour Scene is immense. I recently recorded a song of mine with Steve Cradock, the guy is a Magician.

@dogcatchicken aka Tim Martinlives in Darlaston and plays and sings his own socio-political songs on an 8 string Tenor Ukulele (sounds more like a mandolin).

Tim has only really come to music in the last 5 years or so, through his involvement with the Workers' Music Association Summer School.

"The first time I went to the WMA Summer school I did a folk course and discovered I had a voice so I joined in all the singing classes. Now I compose and sing with the uke – I don't play it like George Formby though". Tim performs regularly for Stirchley Against The Cuts, plays at the CASA socialist pub in Liverpool & has even played at a David Rovics gig.

“I also sing with a left field choir The Birmingham Clarion Singers – We get out and sing at all the big political demos, its great to feel you are doing something! I think everyone has music and a story inside them, they just need a chance to find it and let it out!”
